Name: Yamaha TX81Z Demo by Anders Enger Jensen in Retro
Duration: 1 min 19 s
Description: Little thing I made for Espen Kraft's demo of the Yamaha TX81Z and TX816 video.

God your production is sooo good. That lovely bright full 80s sound with oodles of warmth, and slick drums to boot. Just sooooo good.

Two TX81Zs plus Chorus pedal plus Strymon Big Sky Reverb here (as mentioned in YT-video), which makes almost anything sound good. A single TX81Z alone wouldn't sound like that at all (I used to have one). Good job, though!

The 8-Bit Guy made, as you probably already know, a new game - Attack of the Petscii Robots. It's available for the Commodore PET, VIC-20, C64, Apple IIgs and Atari/Commander X16.

Noelle did all the official music for this game, as I had little time to devote to this project except for the design and label stuff as usual. However,  in January this year, I sat down and made some songs that I thought could fit the game. Using only hardware and no soft synths or samples, I did a series of tunes inspired by the titles of the maps in the game.

Initially I planned these to be loopable and short as most in game music tends to be, but I quickly found myself making more or less full songs with a more normal structure. So this alternate soundtrack is more of a synth inspired album that some of you may find ok to play in the background while playing the game.

The 8-Bit Guy has just released his brand new RTS game for the Commodore 64. This is one of the idea sketches for a future port to MS-DOS where the intention is to have Roland MT-32 and Adlib music. The new game can be a possibility if the C64 version is a success, so head over to the webshops to check it out:

A song I made when rewiring my studio and had to test if everything worked properly afterwards. Turned out that it had to become a proper song after all. ;)

Here's a little track I made from only Nintendo 64 Sound Fonts - in other words, just samples and sounds from the old classic N64 games. It's a challenge from one of my fans on Youtube, 
Allen Husch, who said: "I really want Anders to make a song with a primitive video game SoundFont. Super Mario 64 for example."

So here we are! I've been a sucker for many of the soundtracks on this platform, especially Wave Race 64, Mario Kart 64 and Pilotwings 64, so these are the main SF2 files I used, but I found that some of the others like Blast Corps, Diddy Kong Racing and a few other N64 extractions also were good, so this is a huge mix with a little from everywhere. But no other sounds or samples were used, only effects, EQ, compression and good old MIDI tracking in my DAW.

Think of this as a homage to the good old times and the eminent works by Kazumi Totaka, Koji Kondo and all the others (too many to mention with the fear of forgetting some). 

Thank you Nintendo for all the fun hours in front of the console in the 90s. :)

Duke Nukem 3D played on a Roland Super JX aka MKS-70.
VIDEO: https://youtu.be/T8jyvfZXWqQ

In the series of doing famous game soundtracks and songs on various older sought after synths and modules, I give you the original Duke Nukem 3D Theme, done entirely on a Roland Super JX (except the drums of course). I had a little slow start on this one, and it was mainly due to trouble programming sounds on the MKS-70 and that Lee Jackson's original contains a bit of muddy phrasings causing a lot of rumble in the low frequencies. I took the liberty of cleaning those up and change them slightly and adding some extra parts to give the song some length. However, I see now that I've done the song, that there IS a full version out of the original "Grabbag" song: http://leejacksonaudio.lbjackson.com/html/download.html

Ah, well... what's done is done. Hope you enjoy this version too and have a good time whacking those aliens that take or women! Time to kick some serious ass, and remember to bring enough gum!

AmigaKlang - Calcpreculation (Virgill&Assassin)

Electronic musician from Norway. I started playing piano/keyboards in the mid 80s. After a few years at the municipal music school, I quickly grew tired of the simple piano-only education and got to move on to classes with keyboards and synths. From the early beginning with Technics K-200 rhythm keyboard from 1983 via some Casios/Hohner keyboards, I evolved with the later Technics KN-1000 and KN-2000 before moving on to Roland XP-50. As the computer revolution made DAWs affordable, 1999 made sequencing using Cubase easy and the studio grew ever larger with more outboard gear. Today the studio has become a sizeable and functional MIDI/arranging studio with over 40 synths/modules and more centered around a MacPro with MOTU’s Digital Performer, and numerous more or less famous productions.

I have always had a musical approach towards sound engineering and composing, rooted mainly in vivid harmonic structures and saturated compositions. Inspiration has always been the likes of Jean Michel Jarre, Vangelis, Eric Serra to name a few giants in the electronic scene, but also a heart towards well produced pop music from the 70s and 80s as well as epic film scores from John Williams, Alan Silvestri and Hans Zimmer. The baby era of computer music from the late 80s and early 90s was also a heavy influence.
